In Living Cells, Complex Metabolic Reactions Proceed in a Series

Question

In living cells, complex metabolic reactions proceed in a series of steps called
A) maneuvers.
B) degrees.
C) pathways.
D) increments.
E) cascades.

Accepted Answer

The term "pathways" is commonly used in biology to refer to a series of steps or reactions that occur in a specific order to carry out a particular metabolic process. This terminology is used in a wide range of contexts, from cellular respiration to the synthesis of complex molecules like proteins and nucleic acids. The other choices listed (maneuvers, degrees, increments, and cascades) do not accurately describe the organization of metabolic reactions in living cells.
